A combination of sharply weaker oil prices, rising geopolitical risk and anti-petroleum industry reforms implemented by Colombia's first leftist president Gustavo Petro deterred investment, causing the operational tempo to decline.

OPEC's oil production rebounded sharply in June as Gulf producers finally began bringing shut-in barrels back online after months of war-induced disruptions. But despite the impressive headline number, the cartel is still pumping nowhere near where it was before the Strait of Hormuz crisis turned Middle East oil flows upside down.

Days after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on June 17, Iran's military declared the strait closed again, only for Iran's own foreign ministry to tell state media shipping was “operating normally.”  Under that same agreement, Washington has until July 19 to fully lift its naval blockade, while Tehran is only committed to its “best efforts” to restore pre-war traffic. Base metals…

Oil prices remain stuck in a tight range as traders look past geopolitical headlines and wait for clarity on the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Friday, July 03, 2026 Following weeks of extremely volatile and geopolitics-driven trading, oil prices have been exceptionally calm this week, with ICE Brent trending within a narrow range of $71-73 per barrel.
